Cindy on Day 218:- Overheard at a furniture consignment store today, 3 ladies NOT on the decluttering band wagon: “You don’t understand the way I shop; I buy and figure out where it will fit later.” … Read More

Hope on Day 223:- I used to be one of those book collectors who had many more books than I could read in a lifetime (even though I’m an avid reader). My husband challenged me to read 100 of the books I already owned… Read More

Jo on Day 222:- This is actually an important concept to remember – if your storage space can accommodate the extras, and if you’ll use them eventually… Read More

Comments

I recently found your blog and have really been enjoying it! I can’t believe you reply to everyone leaving a comment…I have never seen a blogger who does that!!! That is so kind of you. Thank you so much for the link about books …if you remember the other link(s) later, I would love to see them too! (I understand though about keeping track of where I saw things!)

As for replying to all the lovely readers who take the time to comment, I am greatful for the effort and they deserve a response in reply. I enjoy reading what they say as well as acknowleging them with a response, it is how I start every day.

Awesome post Colleen. I love, love, love the article “A House the Size of a Wagon”! What a great reminder that homes have not always been large and opulent. I’m definitely going smaller in my next abode.

Just wanted to say that I am enjoying the favorite five posts. Last week I read a few of the articles and signed up for some new email newsletters. And this week I looked at some of the comments–which ended up showing me a whole other interesting part of your blog since I read via the email posts, and hadn’t been reading comments before. I really like your blog and am gearing up to trying the one item a day. Did you have any false starts before you started the blog? Or was the blog your first serious attempt at the 1 item per day?

Hi Kerri,
welcome to the comment section of 365 less things. It is especially good to here from you because you raise a very good point with your input today. The whole idea of creating The Favourite Fives on Friday was to introduce readers who may only read the post to the important information submitted in the comments section. I read a lot of other blogs and I know I don’t have the time to read all the comments so I know this is the case for others as well. But I do find that the readers here have a lot of very useful tips, takes and experiences to share that can be a real ah ha moment for both me and my readers. I wanted to try to get some of that out there and maybe induce readers to have a closer look. So thank you for dropping in you justified my thinking on this. I think you have just earned a spot in next Friday’s favourite five comments.
